Though one. I'm usually against this type of transfers. Not that I don't like what I see, he's a promising, unique player, but I don't think he'd transform our midfield dynamics all of a sudden. Good option to go for, but not a must have for me.

Don is acting cute and fucking with my poll. Can't trust those Nordmζnd.

Anyhow, I'm not totally sold on FdJ from what I've seen. Great mechanical skills, no doubt, but I don't think he'll be the lord and saviour that many seem to believe.

No one believes he is the lord and savior but I would definitely sign him! He is currently just a kid who would fit us perfectly and who could turn out to be a great midfielder if he continues to develop. There is only one lord and savior and his name is Leo.

Hyperbole and all that jazz.
The fact that so many people apparently believes he's a generational talent makes me think he's somewhat overrated in here.

When you see Pulisic going for 64m Euros (58m Pounds), then 75m Euros for De Jong doesn't seem that bad in the current market. Not a generational talent imo but one I think that could be very useful for our team.

On the fence, but more towards no. I don't think we have the leadership and manager to develop young players. We're paying too much money for raw talent that we don't have the required people to develop. We should realize that in the absence of a great manager the safest bet is to not go crazy with the young players.

It seems like a bad idea to sign players for a manager who has a different idea about what to play. De Jong is the opposite of Valverde's style. Until we bring in a manager that we know he has the skills to improve the young players, I'd bring in more established midfielders. Shame we didn't go for Kante. Pretty much the perfect player for Ernie's style.
